Graham Clark

Graham Clark finished the 2024 season as Durham’s top run scorer in the T20 Blast, helping the club to its first T20 quarter-final since 2018.

Clark struck half-centuries against Leicestershire and Lancashire in the North group, amassing 322 runs in total.

His most prominent knock came against Lancashire Lightning when he made 87 from 57, featuring eight fours and four sixes as Durham secured a 2-run victory. Clark looked good early on and pulled a Luke Wood ball for six to give the hosts a good start.

The Cumbrian reached his half-century from 29 balls to take the hosts past 100 at the halfway mark, and the opener then ruthlessly dispatched a free hit from Jack Blatherwick over the legside boundary for six.

Clark also made two half-centuries in the County Championship, with those coming in games against Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

The 32-year-old made a battling half-century in Durham’s opening draw against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.

Clark came to the crease with Durham 238 for four, requiring a further 311 runs to avoid the follow-on. He made 76 from 179 deliveries with seven fours as he and Ben Raine shared a 122- run partnership.

Against Worcestershire, Durham resumed day three on 319-5; Clark and Ollie Robinson plundered 78 off 13 overs to set up the declaration after 50 minutes of play. Clark reached his half-century from 91 balls at which point captain Scott Borthwick declared as Durham defeated Worcestershire inside three days.

After the close of the 2024 season, Clark was drafted by Bangladesh Premier League side Chittagong Kings, earning his first foreign franchise deal after previous spells with Northern Superchargers and Oval Invincibles.

The destructive batter demonstrated his power during his stint in Bangladesh, smashing his way to his second T20 century in 48 balls amongst 431 runs for the Chittagong Kings on their way to the BPL final.
